Looks like a nice set. Saucer is an odd pick, only because I think Piper is a better album. Too bad I've most of those (I have Saucer on tape only), that Early Singles disk has some rare stuff I don't have and am not sure I could buy else where.

I currently have Rick James "Mary Jane" playing whenever i drive around. I occasionally play "Give it to me" too. Nothing gets KAK ready for another grueling day like songs about the green leaf and groupie love.

I currently have "The Very Best of Frank Sinatra" 2 disc set in the car. Oddly I was turned onto Sinatra and a few of the other Rat Pack by the "on hold" music my employeer used for almost 3 years straight. I couldn't get "Summer Wind" out of my head so I bought a collection of his stuff.

For you Pink Floyd fans, I've been thinking about buying an early PF album (pre-Animals) but don't know what to get. Any recommendations?

So you're after pre Animals stuff? Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon are both great pre Animals albums (you're Floyd fan and don't have Dark Side?).
Early Pink Floyd tens to be pre Dark Side. Meddle is a good album and I like Atom Heart Mother (but I wouldn't recommend it off the bat). The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, their first album, is good but a little weird. I hope that helps some.

I have a Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet CD that has an instrumental version of "Summer Wind". This is the band that did the music for Kids in the Hall.

I forgot that Wish You Were Here and DSotM were both Pre-Animals. I have both of those and I guess I'm looking for the real early Pink Floyd. I think I'll look to get Meddle then as an opener to the early PF. Thanks for the tip LusiferSam.

They got some good stuff. I was shocked to hear one of their members died last year. That sucks.

I'm currently listening to Brian Eno's "Music for Airports." VERY good stuff if you enjoy ambient music. I write to it constantly. It's gorgeous.
